Mississippi Mudd Pie, Cooking Light September 2010
I made these two desserts yesterday to bring to today's Cookie Hour in lab. Bad iPod pics....
G really liked these peanut butter blondies, and I think other people in the lab must have liked them too, because there was only one left at the end. I only had one, and I can't really remember much about it, and although G ate a ton he has nothing to comment. But he says definitely keep the recipe and make them again. The recipe is incorrect, I think, in that it says it takes a total of 2 hours to make these! It is just a normal recipe-- mix the dry ingredients, mix the wet ingredients, combine, pour into a dish (top with crushed PB cups), and bake 20 minutes.
While that was in the oven I made the Mississippi Mud Pie. I made the crust before starting the blondies so it had time to sit in the fridge. I basically followed the recipe but used just butter and no shortening. I was imagining that this would be some kind of fudgy pie, but I should've known better since the filling includes flour. It's really just a brownie in a pie crust, basically. Maybe it was just overcooked, but it was kind of just dense and dry. I should have read the reviews before hand, because they all said as much too :-/ Wikipedia makes it out to be a soft, gooey dessert, but the Food Network recipe that comes up when you google it also says the top will set like a brownie. Who knows-- not making it again.
